Re: why does centroid never remember its coordinate/home
If you had a closed loop system or even an index pulse with a hybrid system, you'd only need to home. Having to take a cut to calibrate the X axis is one of the tradeoffs you make when going with an open-loop control.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Homing to an index pulse on a servo motor like a DMM and DYN2 or DYN4 helps with lathes.
There are very few drives that give this output to the user....
putting a very precise proximity sensor over the ballscrew pulley is another method. Emco did this for quite some time on their stepper driven lathes.

Don't forget the NEW DYN5 drives.martyscncgarage wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 5:30 pm Homing to an index pulse on a servo motor like a DMM and DYN2 or DYN4 helps with lathes.

Yeah, but out of stock due to chip shortage, with no ETAShawnM wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 8:33 pmDon't forget the NEW DYN5 drives.martyscncgarage wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 5:30 pm Homing to an index pulse on a servo motor like a DMM and DYN2 or DYN4 helps with lathes.
